Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, We could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man—courageous, manly, and wise.A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!Man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human’s weakness, ange r, pride, jealousy and revenge（报复）.In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places.The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness.A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct （本能）guide him.There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.46、The passage is about ____________.A、an organ, with which people can breathe and smellB、the nose, which gives different and useful expressionsC、the nose giving a person special characterD、the interesting remarks about the nose made by some people47、From the passage we know ___________.A、“Cleopatra’s nose”changed the whole face of the world indeedB、Cleopatra had a strong will to change the whole look of the worldC、Cleopatra’s nose was not shortD、Cleopatra hoped that people would change the whole face ofthe world48、The nose expresses ______.A、some human weakness or otherB、people’s shortcomingsC、people’s different emotionsD、human feelings in bad sense49、A person who follows his nose _______.A、won’t take others’ adviceB、is easily controlled by othersC、is weak—mindedD、will let his will guide him50、How many expressions about the nose are mentioned in the passageA、TwoB、ThreeC、FourD、FiveBPerhaps Professor Ray Birdwhistell suggested the most famous theory， the study of body movement. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words， we learn our looks —— we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby according to Birdwhistell， learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around —— family and friends. This helps explain why people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth， it is learned after. In fact， the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many， this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps whyin a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States，for example，the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less，and in the western part of New York States still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly，partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta，Georgia. People inlargely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ______.A has little to do with culture B. has much to do with cultureC is ever changingD is different from place to placeto the passage，the final mouth shape is formed ______.A. before birthB. as soon as one s teeth are newly setC. sometime after new teeth are setD. around 15 years oldBirdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _____ .A.how much he or she laughsB. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows.C. what he or she likes bestD. the way he or she talkswho live ____ are more friendly.A. in largely populated areasB. in New York CityC. in the countryD. in the Northpassage might have been taken out of a book dealing with _____ .A. physicsB. chemistryC. biologyD. none of the aboveCOn the old-time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys（火鸡）. There were alsocows, pigs, and other livestock (家畜). Butthere were very few machines. Most of the workwas done by the entire farm family with the help of a "hired man". Sometimes extra labourers （劳工） were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used, human labour 15 percent, and machines only 6 percent. Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now finish 96 percent of the power, human labour 3 percent, and horses 1 percent. The children go to school by bus every morning, the parents work on the farm or in the house, and hired help is seldom needed. Theirwork has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.56. Today machines finish the power _____ times more than yesterday.A. 17B. 16C. 15D. 1457. Today human labour finishes the power ___ percent as much asyesterday.A. 10B. 20C. 30D. 4058. Which power has changed most greatly _____A. HorsesB. Human labourC. MachinesD. Extra labours59. What has changed the farmer's work _____A. The support of the governmentB. The support of thepeopleC. The hired helpD. The farm machines60. How many things are compared in the passage _____A. TwoB. FourC. SixD. EightDThe making of glass is a very old industry———at least 4，500years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres as thin as human hair which are designed to carry lightsignals. When the light reaches the other end，it is first changed into electrical signals，which are in turn converted(转变)into sound lightwave communication the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has the capacity(容量)to carry 50，000 conversations at the same time. The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First the glass fibre cables are smaller and weigh less than copper (铜)cables;second，they cost less. of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry ____.A.any signal signalssignals signalsyou can hear a message on the telephone using the new system , _______.light signals have to be changed into electrical soundthe light nor the electrical signals have to be changed in any way must first be changed into electrical signals and then into sound signals must first be changed into light signals and then intosoundto the passage , the new telephone communication system ______ .A.was put on experiment in 1977been put into actual use by 1977been repeatedly experimented before 1977first put into actual use in 1977the passage， you can tell that people prefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because ______ .A.glass fibre is easier to makefibre is less expensivefibre is more up to datefibre delivers messages directlyof the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passagesignals have changed the use of glass in industry.fibres have reduced the cost of telephone communication.is very useful because it has many unusual qualities.use of glass fibres to carry telephone messages is aninteresting new development.EAll around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They drink tea with nothing in it .Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special(特殊的) way of serving tea called a Tea ceremony(仪式). It is very old andfull of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot(茶壶) and drink it with creamand sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and sandwiches at teatime.In the United States people drink tea mostly(主要地) for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea- “iced tea.” Sometimes they drinkiced tea from cans（罐头）, like soda(汽水).66.

一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.1. What is Victoria Falls famous for?A. Its narrow and badly maintained roadB. Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC. Its scary structureD. Its thrilling camping2. North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________. .A. the traffic is the heaviestB. it is built on the edge of the rockC. each year many people lose their lives thereD. there is no necessary protection equipment3. If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________. .A. Victoria FallsB. Arctic Cliff FaceC. Auckland’s Sky TowerD. North Yungas Road4. What do the four places have in common?A. They are a bit life-threatening.B. They all have beautiful scenery.C. They are popular with climbers.D. They have been visited by celebrities.BHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.6.The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents7.The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy tales.C. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesCMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1？A. Getting injured in his work.B. Efforts made in vain.C. Creatures forced out of their homes.D. Feeling uncertain about his future.13. Why was the author called to Muttontown？A.To look at a baby owl.B. To cure a young owl.C.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can 36 to have an animal. It is different here.In Canada it is 37 for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic (外来的) pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping 38 pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a 39 --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out 40 onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The 41 will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long that it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow 42 . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is 43 for a longer time than we may have left.I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAll 3 – D glasses have the same purpose: to bring different images to each eye. 3 – D content has two sets of images, one for each eye, that are slightly offset (偏移). When the separate images hit each eye, the brain senses them together as a three – dimensional image.Al though anaglyphs can create a good sense of distance, they damage the quality of the sense d color. That’s why the anaglyp h 3 – D content has been declining in recent years. The next type of passive 3 – D involves polarized (偏振) glasses, which work similarly to anaglyphs.Instead of using colored lenses, the lenses are polarized, meaning they only let certain light through.By displaying one image that is polarized ―up and down‖, another image that is polarized ―left and right‖ and having each lens only let one of the two types of light through, these glasses can achieve a 3 – D effect. This can be very effective and does not have the color problems associa ted with anaglyphs. For this reason, polarized 3 – D glasses are the technology of chose for most 3 – D content in movie theaters.The most recent type of 3 – D glasses, called shutter glasses. Instead of having two slightly different images displayed at the same time and filtering one to eac h eye, shutter glasses make each lens go dark and then transparent again at the same time with the images displayed on the screen. When the screen displays the image for the left eye, the right lens will go dark so that only the left eye can see it. Then, when the image for the right eye is displayed, the opposite happens. This is why shu tter glasses are called an ―active‖ 3 – D technology.56. The role of 3 – D glasses is to .A. ensure the separate images hit each eyeB. form a 3 – D image in each eyeC. prevent images from being separatedD. provide each eye with the same image57. According to the passage, anaglyph glasses .A. provide good color qualityB. make images have unnatural colorsC. block multi – colored imagesD. result in a poor sense of distance58. Why are polarized glasses popular in movie theatres?A. They rely on light waves to send images.B. They make full use of the colored lenses.C. They offer high quali ty colors.D. They can show two different images at the same time.59. According to the passage, shutter glasses .A. give people a comfortable view of the filmB. make people feel themselves part of the filmC. make people watch the image with only one eyeD. blank people’s view one at a time60. The purpose of the passage is to .A. introduce three kinds of 3 – D glassesB. advertise 3 – D shutter glassesC. give advice on how to choose 3 – D glassesD. explain how 3 – D images are formedB―Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people underst and what it is to move,‖ said David Be lie, the founder of parkour(跑酷).Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from Walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royaler Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash ar ound a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy （理念） behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everythin g.‖Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.61. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of_____.A. its founder, David BelleB. the varieties of participantsC. its risks and tricksD. the film Casino Royale62. The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ― ‖.A. streetsB. barriersC. objectsD. Roofs63. Which of the following is true of parkour?A. It challenges human abilities.B. It is a good but boring sport.C. It needs special training.D. It is a team sport.64. As its participants move around a city, _____.A. they can ask for helpB. they may choose to escapeC. they should run to extremesD. they must learn to survive65. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?A. Sports and extremes.B. Determination and freedom.C. Dreams and success.D. Excitement and popularity.CFrom a very early age, some children exhibit better self-control than others .Now, a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child’s low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in t heir adult years.The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin, New Zealand.―The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,‖ Moffitt said, ―and they had the worst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.‖ Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and weren’t just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.Moffitt said it’s still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that it’s mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents. But the good news, Moffitt said, is that self-control can be taught by parents, and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective. 66. From the first two paragraphs we learn that .A. self-control in kids tends to determine their futureB. the research has been carried out for five yearsC. self-control was assessed by children’s intelligenceD. children’s self-control is almost the same at early age67. Children with low self-control are more likely to .A. become wealthy in later lifeB. adopt negative behaviorsC. have better financial planningD. get good school performance68. According to Moffitt, .A. only good genetic f actors can shape their lives in the futureB. scientists know well why some children have better self-controlC. self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activityD. willpower as a child really influences people’s chances of adulthood69. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Self-control cannot be taught in schools.B. The study is restricted within few participants.C. Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.D. It’s never too late to deal with self-control problems.70. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schoolsB. Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early ageC. Children’s development cannot be changed by teachersD. Child’s self-control p redicts future health, successPART FOUR: WRITING (45 points)Section A (10 points)Direction: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Compared to checks, a credit card allows small short – term loans to be quickly made to a customer who need not calculate a balance remaining b efore every transaction. Additionally there is no need for a customer to carry any cash for most purposes. Credit cards also offer consumers an easy way to track expenses.Credit cards are very convenien t to use. But people who use credit cards irresponsibly can soon find themselves heavily in debt. Cardholders borrow money from a bank each time they charge something. They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each month. But if they only make the minimum payment, it may take years to pay off a debt. Interest is continually ch arged on the unpaid balance.And that is not they only danger. Information security is a major issue these days. Recently there have been several incidents in which many people had financial information either lost or stolen. The cardholder suffered great losses. Now, major banks in China get more cautions in issuing caused by the card overdrafts(透支).Measures can be taken to avoid the problems. A lost or stolen card can be canceled in time, which will greatly limit the fraud. European banks require a cardholder’s security code he entered for purchases with the card. In July, 2009, The China Banking Regulatory Commission forbade the issuing of credit cards to under 18 – year – old age group.Title: 71. __________Occasions shopping on linechecking into hotelsrenting a car72. __________73. __________ annual percentage ratecash advance fees74. __________ making 75. __________ quicklythere being no need to carry cash76. __________ easilyProblems heavy debts if 77. __________78. __________no ability to pay off debts for college students79. __________ canceling stolen or lost cards in timerequiring users to enter security codesforbidding issuing cards to 80. __________Section B (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answer on your answer sheet.From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success only if you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial (长期的) victims and martyrs. Th ey are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are respons ible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.81.

According to the passage, wh at does one’s success depend on? （no more than 7 words）____________________________________________________________________________ ______________83.

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census (普查) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights. The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣), are easy to be harmed by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
